Re: Saving browser output as pdf

Have a look at wkhtmltopdf for easy server side generation of PDFs. It's not perfect, but it seems to be the best option out there at the moment. I'm also hearing good things about PhantomJS, though I haven't tried it out myself. Both options are essentially headless versions of Webkit - they produce results that look more or less exactly the same as a web browser, though it usually requires a fair bit of tweaking to get the proportions and pagebreaks right. Support for javascript and SVG is very good, though support for Flash isn't really there. They're not integrated into Django in any way - you need to generate local html files in a temporary location and run them using popen or similar.

wkhtmltopdf: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
PhantomJS: http://phantomjs.org/

Probably best to ignore the Django docs on this subject, incidentally. Reportlab is great but massively time consuming, and the other options listed in there are either dead projects or don't really do a good enough job.
